Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install unreal-actor-component-lifecycle

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent puts code at the right point in the lifecycle (constructor, BeginPlay, EndPlay), creates components at construction or at runtime, and handles attachment. It also sets tick groups and actor pooling. You get a component-based architecture aligned with Unreal Engine 5.8.
